"Let's talk about it, I'll do it!"

After the three of them finished eating, Chen Li stopped him without waiting for Zhou Cheng to pay for it, and then took the initiative to come to the bar to buy the order.

After settling the account, Chen Li smiled at Zhou Cheng and the two seemingly casually: "This hotel was also recommended by a friend here in Chinese opera to find me, it seems to be good." Otherwise, please go to the next side of the same house. ”

"The taste of this restaurant is good, a few Lu dishes are more authentic than Tongheju, next time I will bring friends to taste, thank you Brother Li!"

Seeing Zhou Cheng's admit, Chen Licai nodded with a smile. In fact, he has stepped on the spot twice, and he understands that Yanjing locals like Zhou Cheng don't look down on hotels like Bada Ju that rely on signboards to fool outsiders.

Chu Ran took the things and said to the two: "Actually, a few of our brothers can eat at will, and there is no need to spend that bad money on living together." ”

"That's what Chu Ran said." Zhou Cheng looked at the two and asked, "What are you going to do in the afternoon?" Still going to Chinese opera? ”

Chen Li shook his head: "No, my lover's plane this afternoon, she participated in the competition for Yanjing Station some time ago, and there will be results in the next few days." I asked the theater for leave to go shopping with her to relieve the pressure. ”

"My sister-in-law is here, Brother Li is going to be tired in the past two days."

"You kid should learn like Zhou Cheng, you see how old people are......"

Before Chen Li's words were finished, Zhou Cheng also teased: "Brother Li, what Chu Ran said just now is also what I wanted to say, you have to take care of your body, especially your waist is not good......"

"You're also bad at learning now, see if I don't clean up your ......"

A few people laughed and walked out of the cigarette pouch diagonal street, and it was not far to Gulou West Street. Chen Li's car was parked here, although it was only a Buick Excelle of more than 100,000 yuan, he was also the first person to have a car among the three.

"Where are you going? Do you want me to give you a ride? ”

"No, you can get busy first, Chu Ran and I are walking around, maybe we can meet the junior sister of the Chinese opera, and there will be some stories."

Waiting for Chen Li to drive away, Chu Ran looked at Zhou Cheng and said with some embarrassment: "Zhou Cheng, Brother Li is specially invited to this meal today, and I am afraid that I will be rejected by you too directly, so there will be no room for maneuver in the future, right?" ”

"I can see it, it should be for my sister-in-law." Zhou Cheng did not suspect that Chu Ran helped Chen Li calculate himself, after all, the two of them were classmates for four years, and they knew each other well. Chu Ran should have deliberately stayed to explain this matter, just because he was afraid that Zhou Cheng would have a problem in his heart.

Zhou Cheng looked up at the sun, then at his watch, and proposed to Chu Ran: "Let's find a place to sit?" ”

"Okay, I don't have anything to do in the afternoon anyway, let's go have a couple of drinks?"

"Don't drink alcohol, drink some tea and refresh yourself. I haven't had a good night's rest since the night before. Zhou Cheng shook his head, the afternoon sun made him a little sluggish.

"What's the matter? Tired on a woman? ”

"you, my brother is not like you." Zhou Cheng first raised his foot to kick him, and then watched Chu Ran dodge before continuing: "It's that kid from Lin Shan, who is fighting with someone again." ”

Hearing Zhou Cheng mention Lin Shan, Chu Ran was slightly surprised: "I blame me for this, I shouldn't have asked you to sign him in the first place." ”

Zhou Cheng shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with you, it's because my idea is too simple." ”

Since they were drinking tea, Zhou Cheng and Chu Ran did not go to Houhai, but walked along the alley to Nanluoguxiang, and after a while, they saw a small shop with a tea bar.

There are several tea bars in Nanluoguxiang, which are different from the bars on both sides of Houhai. Most of the tea bars are rented houses in the alleys, the area is not large, the environment is relatively quiet, and the decoration is relatively exquisite, and then a small wooden sign is nailed at the door of the house. It is located in the most central location of Yanjing, and it has the artistic conception of being quiet in the middle of noisy and hidden in the city.

In addition to tourists from other places, more people attracted by such tea bars are relatively literary girls or couples who feel the petty bourgeoisie. Zhou Cheng and Chu Ran came a little abruptly. In the face of the boss's doubts, the two didn't explain anything, they were looking for a relatively quiet space to chat.

Chu Ran asked for a pot of Biluochun, a plate of pumpkin seeds and a plate of small snacks made by the proprietress lady, and went up the second floor with Zhou Cheng along a wooden handrail staircase.

Just after dinner, there were not many people upstairs. The two also chose a booth by the window, a huge tung tree outside the window blocks the sun, sitting in this position, not only does not get sunburned, but also can see the entire alley, even the people who enter and exit the opera gate diagonally opposite can see clearly.

"This location must be the favorite spot of the old ruffians who like to watch beautiful women."

"I think you're one of them." Zhou Cheng poured tea for the two of them, and said disdainfully to Chu Ran.

"Master Chu, if I want to see a beautiful woman, will I still sit here and wait stupidly? I went into the Chinese drama openly to watch it. rehearsed dramas with Brother Li in Chinese opera, and I know almost all the girls in their past few years. Chu Ran showed off to Zhou Cheng: "Do you want Chu Ye and I will find a chance for you to compare the difference between Chinese opera and Nortel." ”

"I'm not in the mood yet, I'll talk about it later." Zhou Cheng shook his head: "Let's say it first, don't give me what you have eaten, I have a habit of cleanliness." ”

"Cut, now follow me for cleanliness." Chu Ran said with some disdain: "Look at the clean ones in the circle." In Huairou in March, with Director Liu's crew, a little girl came to me on the second day after joining the group. ”

mentioned Chen Li, Zhou Cheng continued the topic just now: "Brother Li's entry into the art this time seems to be quite smooth." ”

"It's a good time." Chu Ran nodded, picked up the pot and poured a cup of tea for Zhou Cheng: "Renyi is also a time of renewal and iteration now. Head Feng has also just been promoted, and he wants to promote a group of newcomers. And Brother Li's award-winning film last year also made the troupe recognize his directing ability, and with the recommendation of Senior Brother You Xiaogang, they hired Brother Li to be their special director. ”

"And Teacher You's recommendation. Brother Li should get the establishment soon. ”

"It's not that easy." Chu Ran shook his head: "The troupe asked Brother Li to direct a new play to be performed during the Spring Festival next year." Only if the repertoire can be successful, Brother Li can be converted to a regular in advance and obtain the talent establishment. ”

"You have to believe in Brother Li's strength." Zhou Cheng took a sip of tea, the entrance was slightly astringent, and then the taste was mellow and sweet, and he should be Mingqian tea: "When Brother Li becomes a regular, he can basically solve the Yanjing household registration, and he will be able to buy a house and settle down in Yanjing." ”

"His intention in looking for you is to prepare to help his sister-in-law transfer work, he is afraid that he will be separated from his daughter-in-law for a long time, and time and distance are the two biggest enemies of love."

"I didn't expect you to understand feelings. I thought that Master Chu was among the flowers, and the leaves didn't touch you. ”

"Master Chu, I am a game in the world, in the whole forest, how can I be born for a tree?" Hearing Zhou Cheng's ridicule, Chu Ran pursed his lips disdainfully.

Zhou Cheng said with a little envy: "It's still Chu Ye's free and easy life, I'm now in the whirlpool of interests and can't get out." Chu Ran is the most chic of their students, he is a rich second generation, and he is talented, and the little girls in the school's performance department have been hooked by him.

"Alas, I shouldn't have given you this bad idea in the first place, now that you have a lot of money, and people have spent more than a year of energy, and finally found out that this kid Lin Shan is an immature child. With such a character, I don't know what kind of basket to poke out for you in the future. ”

"This path is my own choice." Zhou Chengchong waved his hand at Chu Ran: "Actually, even without your advice, I want to take a different path and break the shackles that my father put on me." ”

"Your relationship with Uncle Zhou is a little stiff now, if Brother Li's matter is not easy to handle, you shouldn't be strong, anyway, he didn't bring it up directly, so you shouldn't know. It's a big deal that this favor will be returned in the future. ”

"It's okay, I've made up my mind about this." Zhou Cheng shook his hand and explained to Chu Ran, who was a little confused: "I've been preparing to go home in the past two days, my mother is right, how can father and son have an overnight feud." Besides, I really want to gain a foothold in this circle in the future, and I still can't do without the relationship between my old man. ”

"Huh, figured it out?" Chu Ran was stunned for a moment, and then was happy for Zhou Cheng: "Actually, last time I saw you looking around looking for a notice for Lin Shan, I wanted to persuade you." ”

Zhou Cheng laughed at himself: "Do you think I'm like a child, I was frustrated outside and couldn't hold on, and then I cried and shouted and went back to find my parents?" ”

Chu Ran touched his pocket, stretched out his head and asked the proprietress downstairs to send a pack of Huazi, opened it and handed it to Zhou Cheng: "This can only show that you are mature." The kind of person who has a relationship and doesn't have to touch his own head and doesn't know how to turn back, can only be called stunned. ”

Zhou Cheng took the cigarette and took a deep puff. The aroma of tobacco goes down the throat to the lungs, and then gently spit out from the mouth after a cycle, as if spitting out all the troubles and sorrows: "After all, our Huaxia is a circle society, and we can't do anything without the circle." ”

Chu Ran leaned on the rattan chair, and said with emotion: "Your confidentiality work is confidential enough, classmates have been in the past four years, and they have met Auntie and Sister Zhou." A few of us thought you were a single-parent family, otherwise how could you be so gloomy. ”

Zhou Cheng compared his experience in another world, and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, I really want to thank you Chu Ye, if it weren't for your enlightenment with Li Yan and a few others, maybe I might really be depressed." ”

"Haha......" Thinking of the past, Chu Ran suddenly laughed, and when he saw Zhou Cheng with a puzzled face, he smiled: "Do you remember when we took graduation photos?" Our dean came to find my uncle in person, and at that time everyone knew that your kid was a second-generation official. You didn't see the little girls in the acting department, with regretful expressions, as if they had missed a big gold mine. ”

Zhou Cheng also found a comfortable posture to lean on: "In four years, they have never looked at me directly, but they didn't expect to graduate, and they came to me one by one to ask for contact information......

"You kid must have taken the opportunity to open meat, tell Chu Ye that you have harmed a few ......"

"I've been busy with Lin Shan's affairs, and I haven't been able to take care of it yet...... Zhou Cheng thought about it, and still compared a number to Chu Ran.

"Three? I don't believe it, you kid must be lying. ”
